"The prices will be the same."
Steve Jobs admit to it back in January 2010 in this video
Walt Mossberg: "Why should she buy a book for $14.99 on your device when she can buy one for $9.99 from Amazon or Barnes & Noble?"
Steve Jobs: "That won't be the case."
Walt Mossberg: "You won't be $14.99 or they won't be $9.99?"
Steve Jobs: "The prices will be the same."
Steve Jobs: "Publishers are actually withholding their books from Amazon because they're not happy."
And this is a few months before the publishers forcing Amazon to abandon wholesale (April 2010).
